How to Create the Spider-Man 2 Title Effect

In this tutorial we will be recreating the look and feel of the title sequence from the 2004 movie "Spider-Man 2". First we will create the "webs" that move across the screen, then we will use expressions and masks to isolate the intermittent shapes that are formed by those webs. Finally we will use these shapes as alpha mattes for copies of our logo or text.

Tip: Trapcode 3d Stroke was used for the tapering of the webs. This effect isn't required, and is currently turned off in the project's source files.

You can find the official title sequence by viewing prologue.com and searching for "Spider-Man 2"
